  Previously, Apple has included the bonus product on the receipt, charged at full value, and deducted that cost from the price of the purchased product.
  
  For example I got 'free airpods' with my MBA but they were added at full price with ~$200 taken off the MBA.
  
  Makes claiming price protection near impossible on the main item itself. Will be interesting to see how it goes this time!

So buy GC from Coles and then grab my AirPods Pro 2
- Omnibane on 25/11/2022 - 09:55
  
  Same here but I thought the $80 GC can be apply as a discount to the price directly according to this?
  
  "Qualifying purchases can receive a discount equal to the value of the eligible Apple Gift Card off the price of the eligible product and will be charged for all items at check-out"
  
  Not that it matters in this case since I am paying off my Apple wallet, and hopefully get 10% Cash Reward back on the full amount, but it seemed to charge full and want to send me the GC instead.

Better off getting 14" MacBook Pro through Officeworks deal. A lot of these will probably be roughly what edu pricing is, so better off going through that if you can then not stuck with an Apple gift card

    You can do that but there are some limits (I can’t remember what they are). You can add gift cards to your account that prebook online (so you also get cash rewards/shop back). Last year on Black Friday cashback was up to 8% up to $100. Cyber Monday 5% uncapped I think.

      oh dang. I only just came across this post today! I bought the iphone 13 with the Coles apple giftcard deal just before this deal shown up on ozbargain. I did that rather than waiting for the BF because the stock is hard to come by unless I buy it from the apple store. I didnt think apple would do a discount (in the form of giftcard in this case) — they normally don't. It has been shipped so no more cancellation. :( Would be curious to know if anyone has the luck for apple to credit the giftcard via the phone next week! It is a bummer as it is only 1 week apart.

        @CandyMan: @CandyMan no luck. I phoned on friday. It sounded so positive. The person on the phone told me that she submitted a form for the management about this for approval. It will take 24 hrs and a gift code will be sent to me if approved. I didn't even get an acknowledgement email about my phone call like one would get if you contacted the company customer service. Checked my email today. Nothing. It is a shame as i only just bought it last week. And apple store is far away for me. I only just set the new phone up yesterday. It was a long process. not sure it worth the effort to return, rebuy and re-setting.

    amazon does something similar but i always feel like it would have been more efficient for them to just give a refund/credit than going through the "return" and "rebuy" process. Because it would cost more shipping and multiple people involved in the process, such as courier, repackaging handler etc.

Translation on this please…. it kind of infers that if you're buying in store you'll just get a discount, not the gift card (like the gift card will be immediately applied in form of a discount)…
"At a Qualifying Location: Customers who purchase an Eligible Product in a Qualifying Location during the Promotion Period shall receive a discount equal to the value of the Promotion Product (depending on their purchase, as set forth below) off the price of the Eligible Product. Customers will be charged for all items in their bag, including the Promotion Product.

The Promotion Product, in each case an Apple Gift Card, is not a “gift”. This offer expires when the purchase transaction is complete."

  I assume you get the bonus gift card to use after the purchase based on text from landing page:

  - Mic111 on 17/11/2022 - 22:17
    
    Yes it is clearer on that page. It makes sense to me now after reading it again. Basically they discount the device price and then force you to buy the gift card to use later.

Absurd that Mac Mini gets a gift card of $160, but anyone buying a Mac Studio + Studio Display apparently get nothing in this promo 😤😂🤷‍♂️
b3au on 17/11/2022 - 22:20

This offer also cannot be combined with the Apple Employee Purchase Plan, or education or business loyalty pricing. Some methods of payment types are not accepted under this offer. See check-out for details.

I'm going to guess you can't use a gift card to pay for your order (as then you're buying a gift card with a gift card) - but hopefully it's fine to use your Apple Account Balance (and therefore use gift cards anyway).

  From experience it's pretty instant, maybe in a couple of hours or a day or two.

I bought MBP after a price match from the apple store for 2700$. any chance they can give me 400$ gift card on 25th?

  No, unless the MBP is still in the no question asked full money back return period. Then, return it, re-bargain, then purchase again.
